Track down rare music with LostTunes

Music publisher Universal announced today that they were launching a new music service called LostTunes.

Not just another online music store, LostTunes will specialize in rare, difficult to find tracks that are hand-picked by Universal.

Just 134 albums will be available initially but expect another 500 or so albums to be added over the next 6-months.

The tracks will be DRM-free and encoded as 320Kbps MP3 files and be available for 99p per track or £8 for an entire album. Yes, the store will be UK only initially but Universal expects to expand it to other countries in “coming months”.
